However, Yamabuki suddenly increased the strength in his hand, and the immense pressure made Dorothy's arm numb. She looked down at the blade in her hand and found cracks appearing on the blade.
"What immense brute force! But war isn't won by brute force alone!" Dorothy activated her Schrift ability again, and an invisible force swept over Yamabuki, but Yamabuki still didn't feel any discomfort.
It seems the opponent's ability won't cause direct harm to him. Could it be like Furuoki Ōtogawa? Will it absorb his luck?
Suddenly, Dorothy's eyes lit up: "It seems my luck is still very good; I've touched something incredible!"
Yamabuki didn't understand what the other party meant by that sentence.
Touched something incredible? Touched what?
Dorothy raised her left hand, and a black orb appeared. Seeing this, Yamabuki frowned.
"Hadō Number Ninety, Kurohitsugi."
Countless darkness spread from under Yamabuki's feet, finally forming a giant coffin.
Yamabuki suddenly understood. So this woman could steal his abilities, but judging from what she said before, what she stole after activating her ability was completely random.
Just like when she activated her ability for the first time and said, "Bad luck," it seemed she stole something useless. Hmm… it couldn't be his panties, could it?
As Yamabuki's thoughts wandered, his body was already enveloped by Kurohitsugi.
But the destructive power caused by Kidō is directly related to the spiritual pressure of both sides, and Yamabuki's spiritual pressure was much stronger than Dorothy's!
With a gentle swing of his blade, Kurohitsugi shattered, and at the same time, Yamabuki pounced like a fierce beast.
"Troublesome! So troublesome!" Dorothy quickly retreated while releasing Heilig Pfeil.
Yamabuki's movements were like a fierce tiger, appearing before her in a blink of an eye and shattering the blade in Dorothy's hand with a single slash.
After Dorothy threw something from her embrace, she urgently shouted towards mid-air, "Quickly pull me back!"
A black aura enveloped Dorothy's entire body. Yamabuki's blade clearly touched the opponent, but it simply passed through her body without causing any effective damage. This ability was the Wandenreich's famous Shadow Realm.
It allows one to move back and forth between two worlds.
And as long as one enters the black shadow, they enter another space, somewhat similar to a Hollow's Negación in theory.
Even Old Man's Ryujin Jakka couldn't harm them in the slightest.
But my Silver Radiance Angel is not Ryujin Jakka!
"Spatial Severance!" Yamabuki, with a testing mindset, swung his blade. Instantly, a piece of black shadow was directly cut off. Yamabuki's face showed a sinister grin; he had succeeded.
When this black shadow dissipated, a hand was revealed inside, which was Dorothy's hand.
On the other side, Dorothy had already returned to the Wandenreich, but as soon as the shadow on her body dispersed, Dorothy let out a violent scream, clutching her arm in great pain.
Everyone rushed to look; her arm had already been severed at one section.
Isaac Mardon frowned, how was this possible? Once one entered the Shadow Realm, they entered another space. Theoretically, no attack could harm someone inside the Shadow Realm.
"Spatial ability, did you encounter Yamabuki?" Isaac Mardon asked with a frown.
"Stop talking nonsense, quickly heal me." Dorothy yelled.
Isaac Mardon calmly treated her wound while asking, "Where are the others? Six people went with you in total, where are those six people?"
Dorothy gnashed her teeth and said, "I'm in this state, how can I care about others? Quickly find a way to reattach my hand!"
But unfortunately, Quincy did not have this technology; they were all humans, and if an arm was broken, it was broken.
At this moment, Yhwach, who was sitting in the center, spoke.
"Has the declaration of war been delivered?" Yhwach did not care about his subordinate's serious injuries, only asking if the task he had given had been completed.
Dorothy, with a severed arm and a pale face, knelt on the ground with great difficulty: "Yhwach, the declaration of war has been delivered."
Yhwach gently waved his hand, and Dorothy's severed arm instantly recovered as before.
"Thank you, Yhwach!" Dorothy said happily.
Even if you want a donkey to work hard at the mill, you have to tie a carrot in front of it. How can anyone work for you if there are no benefits?
Yhwach understood this principle, he just didn't bother to act on it.
But now that a great war was imminent, he had to use such means to win over people's hearts.
It was to clearly tell his subordinates that they should not be afraid of death or injury on the battlefield; as long as he was still there, they all had a chance to be resurrected.
"Tell me the detailed process of the mission. Who exactly could easily defeat a member of the Sternritter?" Yhwach said.
"That was a very strange man, very strong. As for why he could harm me while I was in the Shadow Realm… I don't know!" Dorothy lowered her head deeply, afraid that Yhwach would blame her.
At this moment, Arenas Bard spoke.
"Yhwach, that person's name is Yamabuki, the Chief of Staff of the Gotei 13. He is a civilian but his strength is quite formidable. Our palace's location was exposed because he led Shinigami to encircle us. Thanks to Captain's timely judgment, a greater tragedy was avoided." Arenas Bard said.
"Yamabuki? I remember that name." Yhwach stood up from his throne: "Since the declaration of war has been delivered, then three days from now, the entire Wandenreich will attack Soul Society, targeting the Spirit King."
…
"Three days?" Yamabuki took the declaration of war to the First Division and opened it with the Captain Commander.
The declaration of war clearly stated that three days later, the Wandenreich would attack Soul Society with all its might.
What was destined to come, finally came!
Everyone's hearts were heavy. War was not a child's game; people would die. No one knew how many would die in this great war.
"From now on, the Gotei 13 will be on standby for battle at all times. Do they have to come exactly three days later just because they said so? If it were me, I would launch a sneak attack that very night after delivering the declaration of war; it's all about deception in warfare. Uhin Zenjōji, you've been researching that poison for so long, shouldn't it be ready now?" Yamabuki looked at Uhin Zenjōji.
Uhin Zenjōji nodded vigorously. Living such a stable life in the Gotei 13 for so long had made his belly even bigger!
"I have already produced enough dosage of the poison, ready to be deployed in the war at any time!" Uhin Zenjōji said with great confidence.
